The nature of identity theft makes it a global concern, with threat trends crossing regional barriers.

This allows our U.S.-based professionals to better understand where new threats may be emerging so they can service customers most effectively.

The team works with everyone from average families to high net worth individuals to business clients of all sizes. The cause behind each incident of identity theft is also different, from a breach at a healthcare provider's office to data loss at the local school district. Each case has the potential to bring unique challenges that our team sorts out every day, with 99 percent of CyberScout customers reporting they are satisfied or very satisfied with our service.

Bronze Winner

When identity theft strikes, the impact on its victims can be devastating. A survey conducted for CyberScout by the Identity Theft Resource Center, shows that nearly half of consumers don't know where to turn after a data breach that makes them vulnerable to cybercrime. Nor do they know whom to trust. Fortunately, millions of people have access to CyberScout's resolution services team as a service through their insurer, bank or employer.

"We are proud of the award-winning CyberScout teams and services recognized this year by these ISPG awards," says CyberScout's acting CEO Bill Tait. "These awards represent an amazing achievement for the CyberScout organization and a testament to the work our team does every day."
